Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

The old covenant and the old way of doing things in many ways was harsh and draconian. The legal system legislated for and allowed slavery. Indeed all the people of God knew whilst in Egypt was slavery. They were in bondage for 430 years. This affected the way they thought, the way they behaved and the way they acted towards each other. The slave masters connived to highlight the differences between the slaves, the keep them ignorant and to have them fighting each other so as to perpetuate the slavery mentality and thus provide a constant source of labour to do all their menial work.

This method of deliberately keeping people undereducated is still being applied today. However, tyranny and deceit can only last for so long. Once the mind of one individual is enlightened, this becomes a touch paper to initiate the liberation of the masses. There is a Moses born in every generation. Today we see the shackles being shaken off from the people who have lived under oppression for many years. Egypt has told its leader, no to dictatorship and Libya is following suite. In the spiritual realm we too can shake off the shackles that keeps us limited to the natural and become people who access the portal of the supernatural. Jesus said “if you ask anything in my name, believe that you have received it and it will be yours”, Mark 11:24. Ask for things that will help to enhance the kingdom of God!
